Parents cherish the presence of their children more than anything else during Old age

Should old people be taken to retirement homes where they would be cared for 24/7 by professionals? Or should they be taken care of by family members at home?

Should babies be taken to orphanage homes to be cared for by professionals 24/7 or be taken care of by their parents and family members?

Most people would choose the latter because they believe that the parents will take care of the child better, we can never compare the care and love a mother will shower her child to the one he will get from strangers on duty, so why should the old people[someone's parent] be taken to a retirement home.

My parents are getting older and it saddens my heart, I knew them at their youthful age and how vibrant they were, so seeing my dad now walking slowly and my mother aging makes me feel so sad, and sometimes I could not even help the tears.

I am glad they are still alive and I can still see them, talk to and gist with them, one thing I notice is that they feel so happy whenever their children visit them, and this alone could make them live longer.

Some children abandon their parents and never check on them because they have a new family to cater for, life should not be like that because if those parents abandon you when you were small and vulnerable, you won't have the opportunity to create the new family you prioritizing over them.

It would be easier to take them to retirement homes where they will be cared for if you have money, but it is not all about being cared for, they need their children and grandchildren around them, and just seeing those people around is better than any medicine prescribed to them by a doctor.

They are weak and vulnerable in their old age and hence it is time for the children to pay their debt and stand by them, in some cases, the children are busy with work or also still trying to survive, a retirement home could be an option but they must make sure to always visit them there at least 4 times in a week... It is the presence that matters to them

The feeling that their baby has grown up to become a man/woman that can fend for him/herself and also take care of them... Respect to all parents out there because they suffered a lot to take care of us when we were little and we would also do the same for our children and if we want our children to also take care of us when we are old, we should treat our parent right in their old age.

Taking care of them by family members is the best
If my parents get old, I’d surely take good care of them
I can’t take them to a retirement center

Indeed! I think most parents if given the option will choose to be taken care of their children than at a retirement home. In my view, keeping the bond alive is more important than anything else, since it could literally prolong their life.

they loved that more than anything else, the most important thing to them in their old age is their children and grandchildren affection towards them.

Growing old is something we can’t do away with. But taking my parents to a retirement home is totally out of the question.

From my experience with older people, having family around , especially the younger ones makes them happy and more vibrant.
Who knows what would be done to them in the retirement home?
